hair loss

i think i might be thinning out a tiny bit on my crown. i prob know the answer but i have to ask - does anything work to curb it? (herb/vit supplements etc) or should i just forget addressing the apparently fatal lack of zinc and omega 3 in my diet and shave it all off? im also unsure why god felt the need to make testosterone and hair a trade off for men.

yeah - getting a bit thin myself and I've just sort of accepted it (runs in the family). This until a (totally bald) mate told me that there are things that do work, but you have to keep in taking these things or your hair will go (which it of course might do anyway, but those numbers on wikipedia are impressive if you just want to stop hairloss).

i've still got a full head (albeit gray) on top but the hairline has receded a bit over the years. either that or my forehead has grown, not sure.

guys are lucky nowadays, it's so common/acceptable (fashionable, even) to buzz or shave your head instead of the horrible bald spot on top or dreaded comb over of the past. although some white guys have ugly heads when shaved, it must be said.

my thinning has more or less stabilised.
i hope.
not exactly ideal though, has to be said.
all these supplements/treatments look tempting but im sceptical.
OTOH i dont think the shaved head would look right on me.
theres a guy at work who i think has a bald crown and has resorted to basically shaving it all off except the very front/top.

this has been on my mind alot recently even though I'm at the early stages. After reading quite a few accounts Ive come to the conclusion to let nature take its toll and to try to be as healthy as possible, as alll the current treatments have side effects that im not up for. Best to get over it and shave your head (which i just did this morning and it feels great)

Its a bit of a circular problem; baldness causes anxiety because you think you will look unattractive but really its the lack of confidence and anxiety that will make you unattractive. Lots of women like bald men, not alot of women like anxious men with no confidence, regardless of whats on their head
